pocket carry concealment help!

hello all i pocket carry a j frame 442 in my right front pocket in a desantis nemesis. but i wear large pocket cargos ive bought some with deeper pockets but it still looks a lil bulky and the pocket openings are large if you stand behind me you can somewhat see in my pocket its a black gun black grips and black holster so it all blends but am i realy concealed enough

I think having the pockets altered is the best bet. That way you can buy whatever pants of shorts you want (as long as they're loose fitting) without caring about the pocket depth. My wife gets pockets altered in her pants all the time and it only costs around $5. Granted, she's typically having them removed and sewn shut, but it couldn't be much more work to lengthen them.

You are just a little parinoid. I also carry a J frame in the front pocket in a Uncle Mikes, same as the Nemesis, and if I look down I can see a bit of the grip, but NOBODY has ever noticed , or mentioned it.

Gander Mtn is selling Columbia shorts with really deep pockets. I bought one 3 weeks ago, and just picked up another today. There are several other shorts being sold there that don't have deep pockets!

In fact, I sewed in a strip of velcro to make it carry my PPS. That works fine!

I found some Savane shorts at Sam's that have very deep front pockets, which are covered even more by another set of outer cargo pockets on the front, which provide cover for whatever is in the first 2 pockets.

They were either $7 or $14, can't remember. Unfortunately they aren't in stock all the time. One of those hit-or-miss items.

If I'm not pocket carrying my 642 (Mika or Nemesis holster) when shopping for pants or shorts, I know that if I can extend my fingers and slide my hand into the front pocket up to my wrist, it's deep enough for the snubby. My hands are average sized. I hope this tip helps.
